Job 38:1-7

Job 38:1-7New International Version (NIV)

The Lord Speaks

38 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

2 “Who is this that obscures my planswith words without knowledge?3 Brace yourself like a man;I will question you,and you shall answer me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?Tell me, if you understand.5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!Who stretched a measuring line across it?6 On what were its footings set,or who laid its cornerstone—7 while the morning stars sang togetherand all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

Job 38:34-41

Job 38:34-41New International Version (NIV)

34 “Can you raise your voice to the cloudsand cover yourself with a flood of water?35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?36 Who gives the ibis wisdom[a]or gives the rooster understanding?[b]37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens38 when the dust becomes hardand the clods of earth stick together?

39 “Do you hunt the prey for the lionessand satisfy the hunger of the lions40 when they crouch in their densor lie in wait in a thicket?41 Who provides food for the ravenwhen its young cry out to Godand wander about for lack of food?
